Hello! It is hard to believe 2014 has almost ended. This year has passed so quickly and has been a year filled with card making. Today's card was inspired by pattern paper from Paper House's At The Vineyard Pad that I received at Christmas. I did not want to hide the beautiful scene on the paper so I stamped on two squares of Vellum using Repeat Impressions Wine Series stamps with Versamark and embossed with Pearl Gold EP. Colored wine with Copic Marker on the back of the vellum. I framed each with die cuts using Nesties Scalloped Square dies and attached these over the scene. Finished with some score lines inked with Memento Rich Cocoa and a stamped wine cork using another stamp from the same set to complete the design of the sketch .

Welcome! My card today is "Golden". I made the background by embossing a section of Navy CS with Gold EP and Versamark and then embossed it with Cuttlebug EF Victoria. This was then sanded to reveal the design. I gold embossed the sentiment from GKD Festive frame on Ivory CS and matted on Navy. I consider this to be a CAS card because it was quick and easy unless there are too many layers to classify as CAS.

Hello! I have a One Layer Card with "a little gold" to enter for some challenges. I used White CS and stamped Bells from GKD Very Merry Christmas set that I embossed with Gold EP and colored with Gold Copic Marker and Red Glaze Pen. I framed the image by tracing around a Nestabilities die with Versamark pen and emossed with gold. I drew another frame with a Gold pen inside the first frame. I finished with a simple word Joy in gold.

Hello! Thanks for stopping by. Today I am thinking of cards for spring not winter and snowflakes. This is a Gatefold card that I made for the Day 7 challenge at Stamp TV but I thought I'd enter some other challenges as well.

This card was inspired by the colors and flowers in the pattern paper. For the gatefold design, I used GKD Pattern paper from Berries & Vines with White and Grass Green CS. Stamps are GKD's A Year of Flowers and Inside and Out. I used White Puff EP to add some texture to the Daisy. I finished with a Red Satin ribbon to keep closed.

Welcome! My card today was made for Stamp TV 12 Days of Christmas Challenge for Day 6 to use Distressed News Print. Using a sketch from Sketch Saturday, I layered a section of Distressed paper on to a Textured Ivory Card base and a mat of GKD Chocolate CS. Used DI Antique Linen, Tea Dye, and Vintage Photo for inking news paper. I stamped trees and sentiment from GKD The Northwoods with Memento Rich Cocoa ink on GKD Ivory CS for the top layer. Added ribbons and a star brad from stash to finish.

Welcome to my studio! I have been playing with Stamp TV 12 Days of Christmas which is a series of 12 Challenges. We have until Dec 31 to complete the challenges and this card is for Day 5 to use the sketch shown on the right. I used pattern paper from GKD Berries & Vines pad, white and red CS, Memento Cottage Ivy ink, and GKD Stamps The Northwoods and Fanciful Tags. Used Spellbinder Dies and GKD Ribbon ( scrap from my stash).

I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas with family and friends. My greetings to all are a bit late but I have been taking a bit of time off from blogging. I will be sharing a few projects that I have not yet posted including the Shadow Box card shown above. The Nativity scene was created with a Silhouette file by Lori Whitlock using White and Navy CS and a scrap of gold. The 5x7 card is Design ID #71025. I used the back of the card for my greeting.

Second Post today.
I am back with another last minute Christmas project. I made these boxes that can be used for cash, gift cards or even lottery tickets using a Silhouette cut file. I made 5 to be used for cash and found they also can hold some candy beneath the insert. I cut the bands and inserts from red CS using the Cameo. I cut a pattern for the box and cover and then cut them manually to better use the paper and I like to score these parts using my Scor-pal. The top panel was printed but could have been stamped just as well but I did the quickest way. I used Sizzix die to cut Snowflakes from Silver Metallic CS to finish.

I used dollars bills for the photo but plan to fill with larger denominations.

Challenges:Scor-Pal Challenge: Monthly challenge is anything goes with your Scor-Pal using more than one score. The boxes and covers were scored with several scores.

Hello! I have been away from my blog the last few days. The holidays seemed to have arrived so quickly this year....tonight begins Hanukkah with a dinner of Prime Rib and Potato Latkes or maybe Potato Kugel. I have not wrapped one gift as yet so I must get busy.

I made these gift tags a few days ago for the challenge at The House That Stamps Built using Repeat Impressions Pine Forest stamp with Memento ink and a combo of white CS and Green Pattern Paper.

Hello! I took out some time to make a Snowman card using one of my fave Snowman stamps from Flourishes Warm Winter Wishes set. He was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on White CS and colored with Copics and sponged with Summer Sky Ink. I trimmed him with Spellbinders Labels dies and matted on Hero Arts Green CS. Added some stickles and liquid pearls. Finished with a White card base and background of Fancy Pants Pattern Paper from Timbergrove pad. Added sentiment stamped in SU Sage Shadow ink cut with more of the Labels dies and Snowflakes cut with Sizzix die from Glossy White CS. The ribbon at lower edge of card is American Crafts.

Welcome to my studio. Today I have a Christmas card that I made with a Silhouette File and Cheery Lynn Dies. The Nativity scene was cut with the Cameo from Black CS and the Sentiment was cut with the dies. I simply attached both to pattern paper from American Crafts Kringle & Co pad and then a White CS base.

Welcome to my studio. Today I have a very quick and simple card....a CAS one. This will fit several challenges. On the card base of Bazzill blue CS, I attached a mat of lustrous Oyster Pearl CS and topped that with a die cut of the Blue CS using Spellbinders die and a Glittery Snowflake (glitter CS) cut with Sizzix die. I added a bling of Blue gem mounted in silver and stamped Winter Wishes using Versamark and Zing Silver EP. The unknown stamp was a freebie that came with a magazine.
